A new Rational Model has emerged out of science that brings us new hope. We can now build a better future for the Human Family.
Seeing things as open systems is the foundation of this modern philosophy: a major advance in Enlightenment. Systems-Thinking has dramatically enriched the way we understand ourselves and the world. With this new philosophy, we now see much more than mere Parts. We now see the world as a network of inter-connected Systems. With all the insights of this Modern Enlightenment, we now look for the Processes, Dynamics, Structures, and multiple layers of Context for each system that we manage. More, we can now design organizations that are robust, self-regulating, self-adapting, and self-reinventing in the face of the global forces of change. And this shift in view has profound implications in organizational management and leadership.
This is a powerful tool for managing complexity. More, it is a rational basis for all thought processes. Even more, it is a bridge across all cultural divides. It begins with a Worldview: a way of seeing reality. This Worldview sees reality in terms of open systems. It brings us to see more than mere Parts. It makes us conscious of the Processes, Dynamics, Structures, and the multiple layers of Context for each system that we manage. So it provides the most complete understanding of reality needed for managing the big picture in any situation.
The book "POWER - The Modern Doctrine" explains and develops this philosophy and explores its applications to the design and management of organizations as self-sustaining human systems. Another book "Rational Decisions-Making", also by Hamid Noorani, develops these concepts further and explores their applications to decision-making at all levels: decisions by individuals, group decisions, organizational strategic initiatives, and crafting public policy.
See the white
papers
below as examples of how the principles of Systems Thinking can be
applied to find systemic solutions to complex organizational problems.
They demonstrate how to analyze organizational systems and identify
their sub-systems; how to analyze the economic principles of the
systems, and based on those principles, how to generate systemic
solutions.
